New Mexico United will make it an even 20 – as in 20 consecutive matches outside its home state – Saturday night in El Paso.
Will 20 prove to be a lucky number?
United (0-1), which has a long-awaited home match looming next week, first hopes to bring some momentum into its return to Isotopes Park. It won’t come easily against rival El Paso Locomotive FC, and NMU coach Troy Lesesne knows it.

“El Paso’s a great team,” Lesesne said. “They’ve been to the Western Conference finals the last two years, and that’s where we want to be. We want to take a step forward. Matches like this one are important.”

“It’s an amazing job we’re doing here with the new building,” said Jessica Sanchez-Romero, project manager. “We’re moving 13,000 square feet from our Civic Plaza Drive campus to Klauer.”
The center is intended to become a resource for integrated learning and living. RMKM Architecture produced an innovative design that easily allows students to flow between spaces. The CPCC will provide open meeting and student lounge/study areas, while including a courtyard patio and small garden space. UNM-Taos staff say the facility will not only meet the needs of the campus community but serve members of the community who want to use and celebrate the culturally valuable Acequia and Southwest Research Center archives.

Midseason form it was not.
New Mexico United came away from Saturday night’s season opener at Rio Grande Valley FC without any goals or points after a 1-0 loss to the host Toros in Edinburg, Texas.
Elvis Amoh’s goal in the 65th minute, which deflected off the foot of United defender Kalen Ryden and bounded over the head of goalkeeper Alex Tambakis, was the difference for RGVFC, which was the aggressor for most of the second half.

New Mexico finished with an edge in possession (54%), but its patient offense was unable to generate many quality scoring chances. The Toros outshot NMU 12-10 and put four shots on frame to just two for the visitors.
